Man arraigned in fatal Hyannis shooting held without bail

BARNSTABLE - One of three men indicted in the July shooting death of a 27-year-old man in Hyannis was ordered held without bail during his arraignment in Barnstable Superior Court today.

Eddie A. Mack Jr., 27, of Roxbury pleaded not guilty to one count each of murder, home invasion, armed assault in a dwelling, armed robbery and carrying a firearm without a license.

Mack, who wore a dark gray collared shirt during his brief court appearance today and had braided his hair since his arrest, was indicted in the case Jan. 11 along with Keiko Thomas, 21, of Hyannis and David Evans, 27, of Quincy.

The three are accused of killing Andrew Stanley in what appeared to be a robbery attempt at 30 Otis Road. Shortly before 1:30 p.m. on July 11, police responded to a report of a shooting at the address.

On-scene officers heard several more gunshots and saw three suspects run from the home in the direction of Barnstable Road, where they were later arrested near Luke's Super Liquor Store. Police allegedly found three guns, drugs and a large amount of cash along the route the defendants took, according to a police report.

At about 2:30 p.m., Stanley was taken by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital with an apparent gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead a short time later.

While he was being moved, Stanley appeared to have duct tape around his hands and ankles. It's unclear what role that may have had in the killing.

In court today Cape and Island First Assistant District Attorney Michael Trudeau told Judge Gary A. Nickerson that he and Mack's defense attorney, J. Drew Segadelli, had agreed to having Mack held without bail without prejudice - meaning Segadelli could argue for bail at a later date.

About a dozen of Stanley's friends and family members attended the arraignment. At one point a man identified as Stanley's brother left the courtroom crying.

A pretrial conference in the case was scheduled for Feb. 21 and a pretrial hearing was scheduled for April 23.
